Rain-fed. These dates are worked out from each place's own rainfall, for a field watered by the season — with irrigation a window can open earlier, close later, or come round more than once a year. Check your own field under What grows, or get the Divisi app for a calendar dated to your farm.
If you only get one chance to plant, aim for around 24 Jan 2027. That is the point in the window where the rains are most reliably established.
This season's rainfall outlook for Haizer is close to normal, so these dates match the pattern the area usually follows.
Planting after 13 Feb 2027 leaves the crop short of season: it runs into the dry months before it has finished filling.

The 2026/27 season in Haizer
| When the rains are expected | September 2026 to May 2027 |
|---|---|
| Rain in a typical year | About 864 mm |
| This season's rain | Rain close to usual — plan around about 864 mm falling roughly when it always does |
| This season's heat | Hotter than usual — about +1.6 °C over the growing months. Heat makes the same rain do less, so a dry spell bites sooner: do not plant late, and shade or mulch what you can. |

| Ground this covers | 3 kinds of ground. The season below is the largest that farms — about 71% of this area. |
| 71% | enough rain for one full main crop; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 224 growing days · about 670 mm · September to May |
|---|---|
| 21% | enough rain for one full main crop; cool for part of the year, so frost sets the planting date 200 growing days · about 960 mm · February to June |
| 7% | enough rain for a long crop, or two in a year; warm, with a cool spell that slows winter growth 274 growing days · about 900 mm · September to June |
